Improved build system generator for CPython C extensions.

Better support is available for additional compilers, build systems, cross compilation, and locating dependencies and determining their build requirements. The scikit-build package is fundamentally just glue between the setuptools Python module and CMake. Currently, the package is available to perform builds in a setup.py file. In the future, the project aims to be a build tool option in the currently developing pyproject.toml build system specification.
